Tillamook county is certainy much better off than other dairy­ sections of Oregon. According to the daily papers, 510 dairymen of Clat­ sop county withdrew from the Ore­ gon Dairymen's League in a body and will endeavor to operate their own association. They claim to be months behind in receiving their pay. Wisconsin twins this week are quoted at 18 l-4c, Daisies 20 l-4c. Tillamook triplets are quoted to the retailer at 31c Los Angeles, against 27c for Wisconsin cheese. «s Registration for October The registration of pure-bred cat­ tle in this county for the month of October that have passed through the office of the County Agricultural Agent are as follows: Guernseys 4, Jerseys 2 and Hols- teins 9. This indicates that the breeders of fine stock in this county are awake to the importance of keeping their papers up to date, and that they realize the value of such regis­ tration and transfer. Tillamook is becoming noted for its large num­ ber of registered cattle and breeders find by experience that it pays. Tillamook 0.

Eckloff, while turning the corner at the intersection of Third street and First avenue east, late Saturday night, ran into the cement “Silent Policeman,” or turning mon ument, and carried it away on the horns of his auto for a distance of four blocks, as he stated in court "without knowing it.” He was arrested by the police and Monday appeared in the Recorder’s court, where he told a weird tale of his subjective mind auto manipula­ tion. ’ Witnesses were ready to swear to the ' intoxicated condition of the driver, , during his reckless wheeling on the i city’s streets, but Eckloff ad- mitted that he was "a little worse” for the beverage, and expressed his sorrow for the occurrence, and prom­ ised to do so no more, So the Re- corder tempered mercy wlth justice and fined him $75 for the night’s eport. H. M. Billany, fourth assistant postmaster general, has replied to the Chamber of Commerce’s request for better mail service for Tillamook City. The Chamber suggested that a star route be established between this city and Portland, with the ob­ ject of receiving the mail here in the morning instead of late in theafter- noon, and the postoffice department failing to concur in this to change the schedule of the mail carriers on the Willamina and Cloverdale routes which would give this city two mails daily, with the exception of Sunday. Mr. Billany informs the Chamber of Commerce that owing to the increas­ ed expense and the railroad running between Portland and Tillamook, which was pointed out by the inspec­ tor he could not consider the sugges­ tion of a star route. In regard to a a change tn the schedules of the two mail carriers, he says: "However, I shall be pleased to take up the ques- tion of changing the schedule on stare route No. 73423, Willamina to Cloverdale, with the postmasters concerned, to see what can be done to assure the citizens of that com­ munity the best possible' service." The Chamber of Commerce asked Congressman Hawley to lay the mat­ ter before Mr. Billany personally.

T. Simms delivered several interesting talks on the subject of "contagious abortion” in dairy cows. The mat­ ter is so obviously important to the large dairy interests of this county that we reproduce his talk in part: “A great many farmers are in­ clined to think that the premature birth of calves on their own place is due to some injury, to feed, or any­ thing else that comes handy foi an excuse.” "But this is not so,” claims Dr. Simms. "Ninety-nine cases out of 100 of premature birth are caused by contagious abortion, and should be treated as such.” In the first place, what do we call contagious abortion? It is the pre­ mature birth of a calf happening anywhere from one tupnth to a few days from the normal time of calv- ing. What causes contagious abor­ tion? ts asked. It is caused by a bac- teria living in the animal, known as abortion bacillis. This is known to live in the pregnant uterus of the cow and the tissue of the udder. Sometimes bulls will carry this in­ fection in their bodies, but rarely is it the case. "One bull has been found in Ore­ gon that gives a positive reaction to the blood test, This does not mean that the bull is not a spreader of the disease. He may carry the abortion bacillus on his body if he has been with an affected herd. In buying a bull from an affected herd he should be washed thoroughly several times with a disinfectant before use for breeding purposes on your farm.” "Now, we know where the abor- tion bacillus lives, but do we know how it is spread from one to anoth- er? In the first place, the abortion can be spread through the milk by feeding, as you already know that the germ lives in the udder tissue of the cow or pregnant heifeT Sec­ ond it cad be spread at the time of calving in the stable or on the pas­ ture. The cow at the time of calv­ ing affected with abortion germs gives off these germs by the millions and other stock take them into the body.” "Third, it is carried by the bull on his feet and body to abortion-free herds but very, very seldom carries the abortion bacilli germ in his body.” «•'»'« ' i jt'i'IT “Fourtl. it can be caused by buy­ ing pregnant heifers from abortion herds, as has already been explain- ed, calves that are bfe'd in abortion affected herds nearly always carry the abortion bacillus germ in the uterus. An unbred heifer can be negative to the blood test before breeding, but place it beside an abor tion affected animal after breeding, and the chances are that the blood test will show a positivt reaction within a few months, maSTng it pret ty near certain that the heifer is af­ fected with abortion.” * Fifth, it can be carried by per- The first train load of stock for exhibition purposes to arrive on the grounds of the International Live Stock show was from Tllla mook. The stock came by spec­ ial train, and marked the begin­ ning of other similar trains from all parts of the Northwest and California. The Tillamook stock filled five cars and were of the Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey breeds. The Tillamook herds were assigned to stalls, and will receive special care. They went through in fine shape, and some of them are already prize winners at the state and county fair, and ■ome of them may be tagged with trophies at the big fair where they are now on exhibition. Two prize winners owned by H. R. Ed­ munds—Janis of Sequoia,” and "Rogue’s Heroin« of Hawthorne” were not sent, as both cows are now under test, and It was thot best not to disturb them. Those taking stock to the Inter­ national were: F. li. Beilis, L. A. McCormick, F. K. Blackadar, Jos. Donaldson and L. C. Daniels. The Wilson River Lumber Co., which includes large timber holdings on Wilson river approximating 25,- 000 acres, now has a force of 12 cruisers who are engaged In re­ cruising the big tract, and checking up on former cruises made several years ago. The county also has a cruise on this tract from which it last year received $28,181.42 in tax­ es. One camp of cruisers is located at the old Smith ranch anti the other at the Harris place. The men came in and started to work about two weeks ago. • Wells Gilbert, of the above com­ pany, arrived here this week from Portland, and is now up at cruising headquarters. From what can be learned, the work now in progress has no tangible connection with the railorad talk which has been current here and elsewhere for the past month. The only point of contact is that the timber tract referred to would be along the line of the sur- vey of the electric line projected by the Portland company up Gales Two lodometers for ascertaining creek with a survey down Wilson the weights of trucks are kept in the river to Tillamook bay.

COUNTY BUYS TWO LODOMETERS Coup D’etat AND ARE FINED A CROWD OF YOUNG MEN ON AUTO TRUCK ESSAY "WILD WEST” FEATS AND LATER PAY FOR DAMAGE, AND FINED On Hallowe’en night a number of the youths of this city ranging from 17 to 25 years of age, took a big truck and proceeded to celebrate that old English occasion In young American style. After minor sport began to pall and look commonplace the boys procured a rope and sought to do a few "Round Up” stunts. They espied the gasoline pump at the Square Deal auto repair shop on Stillwell avenue which had a big empty gasoline drum on top of It. Somehow, this pump with a dtnin bat on it had a half human appear, ance, and some one in the crowd las­ soed the drum pump and all, and the driver of the truck was told to "step on ’er” with tho result that the top of the pump was torn from it's base and dragged down the street. The proprietors made com plaint of the damage, and the oc­ cupants of the truck were arrested, and on Tuesday forenoon were haled before the City Recorder. Arthur Harris, Ray White and E. D. Erskine pleaded “not guilty” and were tried. Each was fined $10 and $10 costs. Lawrence Matthews and Wm. Campbell each paid $10 before the t-ial, and Ray White, Harley Davidson, Carl Knight, Harry Miller, Glen Conover and Gerald Stark were fined $10 each and $5 costs. In ad­ dition to the fines and costs, the boys were required to pay their pro- 'ition of the costs of the damage done to the gasoline pump, which was estimated at over a hundred dol­ lars. A timely lecture was also given by Judge Stranahan, which, while absolutely free, contained some mighty good advice to the boys. A very vivid li'.e was drawn by the Recorder between harmless celebra­ tion of Hallowe’en und tho wantotx destruction of property, .w It is uuderstopd liihl a John Doe warrants are out for parties said to have torn down city street signs and road signs, together with other, senseless property destruction.

She was born in Pleasant Valley Tillamook county, Oregon, Marc 16, 1896. Was baptised in her ir fancy and confirmed In the Return •d church of Tillamook In 1913. G this church she remained a consist ent member until her deuth. In the spring of 1913 she als«, graduated from Tillamook high school with honors. For six years she taught In the Tillamook schools. She possessed marked abil­ ities us a teacher, and her services were always much in demand. In June 1918, she was married to Henry Hanenkrat, to whom she was a devoted wife, and a tallbtui com­ panion. i She fell sick about 9 months ago. Everything that medical skill could do wen done to spare her life, but in spite of all these efforts she wus call ed away from the scenes of time and sense. She will be greatly missed in her large circle of relatives in the church and in the community, but especially by her husband, who, in the wreckage of a broken home will often huve reasoa to nigh lor "the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that Is still."
